This article describes experimental research results of the inductive sensor of the electropneumatic clutch control system for the mechanical transmission. Inductive sensors are used to determine the position of the car body, the position of the controls and the position of the rod of the clutch control actuator. The design of the clutch pedal position sensor is proposed, which can be brought into line with the master cylinder to unify the clutch control systems. Complete unification of the automated electropneumatic clutch control system for trucks will allow creating modifications in which it is possible to completely abandon the use of brake fluid in the drive, which will improve the ergonomic and environmental performance of the vehicle. The advantages of such sensors are the ability to receive a signal in digital form without additional converters, the ability to work using only two wires, no contact between moving parts, resistance to aggressive environments and compact size.

This article describes experimental research results of the electropneumatic clutch control device for the mechanical transmission. The aim is to assess electropneumatic clutch control device characteristics to regulate both mechanical and robotic transmission. The feature of the clutch control system having the electropneumatic actuator on the basis of a power cylinder is the use of a control module that consists of an acceleration valve and two electropneumatic valves. A new structural relationship between the electropneumatic clutch control device elements on the basis of the new acceleration valve design is suggested. The assessment of mass and dimension parameters of well-known devices and this electropneumatic clutch control device is provided. A new approach to choose automated clutch control system parameters taking into account the relay electropneumatic control system operation features is suggested.
